Some of us decided to try to visit as many points of interest as we could in the 24 hours we had left in Washington D.C.. Trains, taxis, and miles and miles of walking led to a once in a lifetime experience.
Looking east on the National Mall at the U.S. Capitol building.
Another picture of the Capitol building, the big white tent is where the 4th of July concert was located.
Illiana in front of the Lincoln Memorial
Me in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
Illiana and I climbed all those stairs.
Stopping to look back at the Washington Monument and the Reflecting Pool.
Proof that we did climb the stairs!
This is one of my favorite pictures!
The Vietnam Memorial. There were a lot of visitors, many of them were taking rubbings and pictures of the names on the wall.
Another favorite picture. The Vietnam Memorial with The Washington Monument in the background.
The Executive Office Building all decked out for the 4th.
The White House from the North lawn.
Illiana in front of The White House. We waited trying to see if President Obama would make an appearance, but no luck.
Nuclear arms protesters across from the white House
First subway ride for the students.
Main hall of Union Station
Students walking through Union Station
Replica of The Liberty Bell
Union Station entrance dressed up for the 4th
Just for fun Illiana and Ali.
